  1. Linda, interesting blog...You could draw your own paper dolls, then save the images and create custom postcards at zazzle.com and winkflash.com.

  3. I wonder how many of these cards there were. I have similar Tuck cards with a peach and a melon...and I think a few others as well. The melon one has a play on words also. Something along the lines of "you make me melon choly."

  4. Your nose is a little "turnip"?

    (Your nose is turned-up? Is that an insult or a compliment?)

  5. It took me a while after I bought the card to realize it was "turnip"! Could very well be "turned up" given the popularity of "vinegar valentines" of that era.
